Mob

After an angry mob of thousands stormed both the presidential palace and the home of the prime minister, then set the PM’s house on fire, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe both resigned. The country of Sri Lanka is now in a state of virtual anarchy. They have no gas, rolling electrical blackouts and they’re running out of food. That’s on top of a totally collapsed economy and inflation hovering around 60 percent.

Basic Democrat ‘mob rule’

In the island nation of Sri Lanka, just off the coast of India, the mob is in control of the government. For now, they’re having a pool party at the presidential palace and singing around the bonfire they lit at the prime minister’s place. There isn’t much else they can do. They don’t have any hotdogs or even marshmallows to roast.

Both President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe were already in hiding before the rioters broke through police lines. If they were home the peasants are ready enough to eat the rich and throw them on the barbecue.

Water cannons and tear gas weren’t enough to keep the howling mob at bay this time. With no choice, corrupt despot Rajapaksa decided to suddenly switch career. Also, his brother happens to be the Treasury Minister. He’s not expected to keep that title much longer.

The Rajapaksa family “dominated politics in Sri Lanka for much of the past two decades.” With half the population climbing up the walls, one of his buddies announced Gotabaya’s departure. Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena, the parliamentary speaker and an ally of the president, “announced the development at the end of a chaotic day.

Chaotic is definitely a great way to describe the way protesters “entered the president’s residence and office,” while “thousands ​more ​descended on the capital, Colombo, to register their growing fury over his government’s inability to address a crippling economic crisis.

The bigger and angrier the mob got, the more terrified the despotic leaders became. Wickremesinghe sent out word of his retirement by nightfall, with “the safety of all citizens” allegedly in mind.

His private home ablaze

Wickremesinghe isn’t about to take his chances with the mob. He was smart enough to be elsewhere when they broke into his house and torched it.

Not only are all the gas pumps dry, their paper money is only good for toilet paper and they ran out of all the hard currency “foreign-exchange reserves for imports of essential items like fuel and medicine.” Around 22 million people are on the verge of starving to death.

The thing that has all the big world leaders nervous is the power vacuum this will create in a touchy region. They have a strategic spot in the big game of Risk. India will now be fighting for control of the nation.

All the mob cares about is looting the palace and throwing a pool party. They ended a vicious civil war over ten years ago but never fully recovered from that madness.

As New York Times points out, the “country’s downward spiral has played out as high energy prices and food inflation.

Meanwhile, “Videos on social media showed protesters jumping into the pool in Mr. Rajapaksa’s residence, resting in bedrooms, and frying snacks in the presidential kitchen.” Speculation about the whereabouts of Mr. Rajapaksa continued to intensify into the evening, but his location remained unclear. If the mob finds him, he’s toast.
